Areas (defined by county, municipality or NCCP) where policies mandate that for areas of new development, comparable areas of the same vegetation types be set aside for conservation

Framework / Assessment
Summary

Depicts areas/districts (counties, NCCPs) where ordinances and plans require that developers purchase and set aside acreage of undeveloped lands for permanent conservation on par with that which they are developing. Though difficult to specify where they will occur spatially, a number of areas in the state require that for each acre developed, an acre of similar vegetation type in the same region (and often of oak woodland) be purchased by the developer and set aside for conservation.
